For over 90 years, our expertise in mooring and unmooring sea-going vessels has ensured safe and efficient operations within the port. This process goes beyond simply securing a ship to a bollard—it requires careful planning and skilled execution. Improper securing can cause instability, posing risks to both the vessel and its surroundings.
Specialized equipment & secure berthing
We operate a fleet of mooring launches that are designed for fast and highly maneuverable operations. Whether docking or undocking at accessible quays, securing to buoys, or handling berthing at (oil) jetties, we ensure every vessel is positioned with absolute precision. Our teams are available around the clock to provide professional assistance, ensuring that vessels of all sizes—container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, and coasters—are safely secured.
Clear & effective communication
External factors such as adverse weather conditions and propeller wakes can make vessel handling more complex. Our teams maintain direct communication between the ship and the mooring crew to ensure smooth and safe operations. By keeping all parties informed, we minimize risks and maximize efficiency during berthing and departure.
Certified & fully-approved equipment
Safety is our priority. We use modern, fully-approved equipment that complies with all regulatory and safety standards. From specialized mooring lines to state-of-the-art launches, we ensure that each operation is carried out with precision and care.
Highly trained professionals
All our crew members have completed extensive training programs and hold nationally recognized certifications, including the commercial vessel master’s certificate. Our boatmen are registered with the Dutch Boatmen’s Association (DBA), guaranteeing top-tier professionalism.
